Not an actual hand, but a typical situation I've run into.
assume .25/50 blinds
also, I'd like thoughts on how to handle this with short-stacks (40-50 BB) and with average stacks (100BB+)
Hero is OOP with pocket pair ( 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif5/images/graemlins/heart.gif )
Preflop is reasonable... say:
Hero limps
MP2 raises to 1.50
MP3 calls
Hero calls.
Flop comes ($5ish): 5/images/graemlins/club.gif8/images/graemlins/club.gifA/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero leads for $4-$5
MP2 calls
MP3 folds
Turn: ($15ish): 2/images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero???
What's my standard line here:
(a) with a 40-50BB short stack.... say I started with $20, and now I'm down to about $13 left
(b) with a average 100BB stack... ???
For (a)... if the other player is aggressive, is it always better to try to attempt a check-raise on the flop? Or should I always be betting this?
Thanks!
